Focus RS
"The key is to the car understeering slightly on entry before standing hard on the power. The car then breaks into a big, sweeping arc of a drift, front wheels pointed straight right up until the end of the slide, at which point you do need to dial in some corrective lock. "
This sounds quite evo-esque; Overdrive the entry, throttle out for maximum fun.

Unless Porsche, and they give you a 911 turbo with full GPS instrumentation and urge you to launch the darn thing down the main straight..

It's fun though. I go to a couple track days a year, if that. It's about how much fun I have, not necessarily how fast I go as far as lap times are concerned. If that statement is any indication to how it handles, it should go like an Evo if you want to make it stick, ie: medium entry speed to keep the front tires happy, and power out before the apex and let the power rotate the car.
Shhh, don't ruin the good stuff for nemsin, he needs all that when he yaps about it standing around at his hard parking meets.
RS3's are $215 a tire, and RE71 are $271 a tire in 235/35r19. RE71's in 255/35r19 are only $20 more. I have no concern for the price of the Michelins at $400. I wouldn't even get that option on the car. I would get the standard wheels for around town, and but a set of 18's, or maybe even 17's if they fit, for track/autoX use.
That comment can be said about any car with expensive tires. Drive like an ***, and you'll be replacing your tires often. Evo owners should be all too aware of that. The irony continues...
